Interesting video. Do you know any of the guys in that video? Is that your's or a friend's car? It sounds like he says "50 something pounds of boost" hard to tell the audio is bad.

If that's true, call me crazy but a turbo exploding at around 50 pounds of boost seems like a normal end result. I've never heard of anyone running that much intentionally, but i suppose a boost spike would do the trick.

I'm not bashing you or the video just trying to get all the facts. Consider this, hypothetically, I could take a turbo kit and crank the boost up as far as I could get it, run NOS, poor tuning, and redline the car during a dyno test, the turbo explodes, and then turn around and say "It's bad manufacturing....cheap turbo." See what I mean?

To the OP, I would definitely explore your options with piecing together a kit. You can find great deals on parts, and plus you can learn more about what the different turbo combos are capable of. That's how i'm doing it and I get to learn alot more about turbo setups BEFORE I actually spend my money.
